Today's Overall Typhoon Situation

As of this evening, tropical cyclone activity in the northwestern Pacific has generally eased. This year's 29th typhoon, “KOGUMA,” has continued to weaken while moving eastward and has moved well away from China's offshore waters. Meanwhile, new disturbances are still developing over the tropical oceans, and the overall frequency of typhoon formation this year remains above the long-term average.

Analysis of Active Typhoon Systems

The only active system at sea is the 29th typhoon, “KOGUMA.” As of the evening of the 13th, its center was located over the ocean near 36°N, 154.5°E, with a minimum central pressure of 990 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 23 m/s, making it a tropical storm. “KOGUMA” is expected to move northeastward at 37 km/h while continuing to weaken, reaching near 40.9°N, 161.4°E around 5 p.m. on the 14th. Overall, “KOGUMA” is expected to have no direct impact on China's maritime areas or coastal regions. Meanwhile, a tropical disturbance is developing in the far northwestern Pacific, and the 30th typhoon, “CHAMPI,” could form in the coming days.

Public Focus

Based on today's weather information, the public is primarily concerned with three issues. First, the development of the new typhoon “CHAMPI” and the fact that the year's total number of typhoons has already exceeded the long-term average have sparked discussion about the broader climate trend in the latter part of the season. Second, cold air and other weather systems have brought widespread continuous rain and temperature declines across many parts of China, prompting widespread concern over when this abrupt shift in weather will end. Finally, innovations in monitoring and forecasting technology have strengthened public confidence in the precise early warning of extreme weather.

Preparedness and Safety Tips

Although “KOGUMA” has moved far away, its interaction with cold air has continued to supply moisture, resulting in prolonged cloudy and rainy conditions in some areas. The public should keep warm and guard against the adverse effects of continued temperature drops and persistent rain on transportation and agriculture. Vessels engaged in offshore operations and navigation should closely monitor changes in sea conditions, including wind and waves, and take appropriate safety precautions. Weather conditions can change rapidly; please refer to warnings issued by the CMA and local government authorities.
